Design Principles for Reliable Intelligent Automation
1. Start With Clear Outcomes
Define the result you want—faster reviews, fewer errors, shorter onboarding—before designing rules or signals.
2. Automate Routine Steps, Not Judgment Calls
Humans handle exceptions; automation handles repeatable work.
3. Capture Every Decision
Automations should log reasoning for transparency, auditing, and troubleshooting.
4. Build for Failure Modes
Use fallback rules and safe defaults when confidence is low.
5. Test End-to-End
Use real personas and seeded data to simulate production behavior accurately. For broader context, see how teams scale End-to-End testing with Provar.
